Why do the clowns
    Have to die?
They take their lives,
Please tell me why.

His world is always happy,
  He is not like you and I.
A clown is always funny
  He never gets to cry.

He hides in darkness
When he sheds a tear.
For he's a clown and
Can never show his fear.
Wrote this the day after Robin Williams committed suicide  and thought of all the comedians that killed themselves.  They were funny but not happy people.
